Electricity transmission towers, also known as pylons, are designed to support overhead power lines over long distances. While there are many variations, the two most common types are classified by their structural design:

• Lattice Steel Towers: These are the most prevalent type for high and extra-high voltage transmission lines. They consist of an open framework of steel angles and bracing, which provides immense strength and stability while remaining relatively lightweight. The lattice design is highly efficient and can be customized to suit various terrains and load requirements.

• Tubular Steel Poles (TSPs) or Monopoles: These towers are made from a single, tapered steel tube. They are visually more streamlined and have a much smaller footprint, making them ideal for urban areas or locations where aesthetics and limited space are a concern.

Additionally, towers can be classified by their function in the line: Suspension towers for straight runs, and Tension/Dead-end towers for turns, crossings, or line terminations. Our comprehensive OHTL Equipment supports all these tower types.
